Thanks, over. We do tactical UAS. I started in archaeology to do aerial photos where you can't fly planes or helicopters--like around nuclear missile installations or at the end of a camel supply train. My boss and I became convinced this expertise could be applied to law enforcement--first responders. I have also done disaster response like the World Trade Center and Katrina. So, the applications seem obvious.

The boss is a retired special-ops capable light infantry officer. He literally broke his back for our country--service disabled veteran. We have multiple partnerships with defense industry companies to do our MAV work, When one of those CEO's whom we have come to respect learned we understood LTA he mentioned WSGI favorably.

I became enthusiastic with the technology. Up to BIB it has all been at the strategic/theater level. We do mostly COTS although we do have our own prototype VTOL MAV. We probably won't go to production with it but we learn a lot by building, rebuilding and flying them. We have a couple of partners who do miniaturization of circuitry--one can even put it ON the envelope of the LTAS.

So my point to the boss is that we would be ideal to help integrate WSGI assets into a turn key system that could provide security or command and control at a level that not even the superpowers have today. Even if we don't hook up, I may be able to get Tony's, Dan's and Glenn's ears. WSGI strategic/theater married to my tactical expertise and connections--a rare opportunity for synergy. Besides, I like building cool things out of kibbutz junkyards. Does my level of interest and enthusiasm make sense? It does to me.

My boss is a straight arrow. Probably won't come into WSGI without one of our defense industry big brother/mentor to protect us. But that is just more players right? So I can't lose--either I score a business development coup or I get to work a high risk/high return play in 21st century LTAS. It is good for me.
